Vaginal Discharge Metallic Odor

My Vaginal Discharge Smells Like Chlorine

My vaginal discharge smells like chlorine. Are you sure you just aren't overbleachingyour launyé No, this problem remains whether I wear tidywhities or not. It can take on a chemical smell if you'veused a lot of condoms. That's called safe sex. It can take on a chlorinelike smell whenyou've used some types of lubricantsaddition to a condom. Then I don't need to be worried about thesmell if it can be traced to some intimate

activities. Some guys' semen smells like bleach or afaint sugary smell. Condom use pretty much precludes that cause. Now if it smells metallic, that is a signblood is mixed with the vaginal fluids. If I had my period, I'd notice the blood. Blood has more of a copper smell, but if there'san infection like something with lesions and a tinny smell, you could have an STD causingthe off smell. I know fresh blood when it isn't the righttime for it is a problem.

And your period is usually dark red or brownby the time it shows up. But it won't have a chemical smell, justmean I need to use real chlorine bleach to clean up. Your body has a natural pH of 7.4. That's a little alkaline. Yes, since it is higher than 7. Conversely,bleach has a very high pH. Yeah, around 12, but your vagina usually putsout an acidic discharge. The vagina's normal pH is between 3.8 and4.5. If you have vaginosis or some sexually

transmitted disease, the pH can go higherthan 4.5. Then the bleachy smell isn't because theoutput is becoming alkaline. No, but an STD can alter its pH and smell,and when your brain doesn't know what it is, it assigns the first chemical that isanything close. If my biochemistry has altered that much,I have a problem. It isn't an alkaline diet; any diet thatalters your biochemistry that much will kill you. However, an STD could alter the chemistrydown there enough to take on a chemical or acidic smell.

What if I said it smells like ammoniaé Then I would say it is vaginosis due to bacterialgrowth, though it could be due to excessive sweating or dehyation and concentrated urinetoo. And I could end up blaming a urinary leak. Or just sweating a lottight pants whileinking caffeine and energy inks instead of water. But at least that's somethingyou can fix by taking a long hot bath to relax.

My Vaginal Discharge Smells Like Bleach

My vaginal discharge smells like bleach. Your body can exude odors of strong foodslike garlic you ate a lot of, but if you ank bleach, you'd bethe emergency room insteadof talking to me. Please don't tell me you actually put bleach down there. As annoying as a yeast infection or bacterialinfection is, chemical burns are worse. And before you ask, it isn't because I'm reallyinto tidy whities. That doesn't mean you are not more colorfulin your love life. I know there are women who put detergent downthere to y things out because the guys want

it y to improve the sex. I don't do anythingmore than douche. Your vaginal discharge could smell a littlelike bleach because the condoms or lubricants you used did. Of every flavor of condom or scent of oilwe tried, nothing was anything like bleach. After all, it kills the mood. The chemistry down there can be altered byrepeated use of condoms Which you should use. And the lubricants you've been using. Allof it can combine to make a bleach like smell.

I never thought rubber could cause me to smellmore like chlorine. If the vaginal smell is sour or stale, youprobably have trichomoniasis. All I can think on hearing that is that itis a killer scrabble word. It is sometimes called just trich, pronouncedtrick. That I've heard of, but I don't know thesignificance. Trichomoniasis is a protozoan infection, andit causes a sour or even bleach like smell. So it is a social disease. Yes, but it can be treated with antibiotics.

Most of them still can, though the rise ofantibiotic resistant sexual diseases should give a lot of people nightmares. This doesn't have to be a nightmare. Rightafter sex, it may smell a little like bleach because his semen does. That's what the condoms are intended toprevent. You could still have the smellthat area,depending on what you did prior to putting the condom on. Anything else to keep a nose out foré

Your period can alter the pH levels down there,giving it a metallic smell right before your period starts. That is why they have scented menstrual pads. Then that's your solution while you shiftto a less odorific love life so the smell goes away. But you can do way more launyso you have something else to blame the smell on. Or at least a cause I'm willing to admitto.
